3 Tips to Keep Your Floors Clean From Winter Weather

The first snow has come and gone and with it the excitement of winter weather. I love the sight of a white, snowy yard, but as soon as that first beautiful snowfall has melted or maybe browned with dirt. Now that the snow is here to stay, your floors seem to be getting dirtier and dirtier as you and your family track in dirt and snow through the house. No need to worry, with these tips you can keep the rest of your house clean while allowing yourself to continue to enjoy the snowy weather.

• Use Only One Entrance to Your Home

If you are like me, you have multiple entrances to your home. Try and limit your guests and family to use just one door when they are coming in from outside. This leaves the rest of the house clear from anything that could be tracked in.

• A “Mud” Room Has This Name For A Reason

Most homes these days have a mud room that is attached to one of the main doors of the house. Use this room as such. Make sure your kids (and anyone else) take off their dirty boots and coats and leave them in the mud room.

• Stay Off The Carpet

Most mud rooms are made without carpet to prevent ruining the floors. If you do not have a mud room, you can still keep your floors clean by staying off the carpet with any dirty shoes or clothes. Tile and wood floors are much easier to clean and will not be ruined by a little snow.
If you follow these tips you are on your way to a clean, snow free home. Now you can enjoy the winter weather without the stress of dirtying your floors. Now it’s time to go out and make a snowman and play in the snow. Enjoy!
